ok taking out the ../ seamed to work a bit better, it now doesn't just loop but now getting a new error.
*EDIT* ok it was another error on my part with a driver installation. but i got it now and its in the X8 mode. next question is Xbee setup and barameter setup. in the compiler i told it i want the barameter altitude hold but didnt see a section to test that out to make sure its working right.

Sorry! I thought I took out the extra "../" I'll rev the installer package.

Sniperp, if the flash software errors (or loops) you need to put the board into DFUSe mode first. Do it be running reset.bat, then run FlashDFUSeF4. In thinking about it maybe I just combine the two commands into one batch file. I'll look at that tonight (or maybe just build it into the Configurator).

I just updated the driver installer package to v1.1. This fixes the wrong path to find the dfu-util that Sniperp encountered. I think I can make a nice binary uploader and will put in the Configurator this weekend. I changed the original post with the right link to the new install package.
